Cyrus Audio 80 PRE Preamplifier

Cyrus Audio 80 PRE Preamplifier

The 80 PRE is Cyrus Audio's most versatile preamplifier to date — a UK-crafted, true separates component built for listeners who want to hear more from every source. It pairs with the Cyrus Audio 80 PWR power amplifier to form a full separates system, and its breadth of connectivity means it sits comfortably at the centre of a wide range of systems.

Streaming Built In

The 80 PRE runs the BluOS streaming platform, with built-in Wi-Fi and support for Apple AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, and MQA decoding. Lossless audio up to 24-bit/192kHz is supported. The app is available on iOS, Android, Kindle, Mac, or PC.

DAC and Digital Inputs

At its heart sits an ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M 32-bit DAC. Digital sources are well catered for: two optical inputs, two coaxial inputs, one asynchronous USB-B input, and one HDMI eARC input. A full-colour 5-inch TFT display handles navigation and source information.

Analogue Flexibility

Four analogue inputs are provided, along with balanced XLR inputs and outputs — a welcome inclusion at this level.

Technical Specifications

Who Is It For?

The 80 PRE suits listeners who are ready to move into a proper separates system and want a preamplifier that handles analogue, digital, and streaming sources without compromise.
